I got for myself Moss Agate and Torquise. I was not even aware this was some new collection or something. While billing, I saw this leaflet and asked what it was and then they told me about the collection. Later I realized that I have already picked the two colors that I needed from the collection. It was too late otherwise I would have swatched the lip colors for sure.

I called them the next day just to know the name of shades *wink*. It somehow reminded me how long long back Lakme used to have coordinated same name colors for lip and nails.

More than the colors, i was happy that they did not raised their price in the name of a new collection which they were doing for a pretty long time. The nail polish are still INR150 and the lipsticks are 325 or 375 (don't remember).

A similar color in colorbar Exclusive 60 but that is lighter and more yellowish with a metallic finish.

Texture

The texture is not 100% matt so I was really happy about it. These colors in matt will look too dull. I might even fell like adding to top coat for glossy finish. The texture is one the thicker side so dries very fast...very happy.
